- This fire was in Rogue River Oregon, right across the street from my Mom's house. I drove up on it when going to visit her right as it started. the tent trailer out front was on fire first then the propane tank vented a fireball into the garage. Has to be the worst and scariest sound I have ever heard. Everyone made it out of the house, but it was a total loss. Be safe out there.
Listen... Getting tired of all the hate about videoing instead of calling 911. My Mom was on the phone with them right next to me so I didn't feel it necessary. Yes I shot the video, I wanted to document it in case it jumped to my Moms house, and maybe help the investigation. In a stressful situation what would you do? Yeah it's easy to say you would do this, you would do that... You weren't there. It was the most horrific thing I have ever witnessed. Before you scream why aren't you helping?? Well as I said in my comments below, I ran to the house to check if anyone was inside... It was too friggin hot to do much of anything. I am not a firefighter... After I turned around the friggin propane tank went and thats when I started recording. So please keep your negative comments to yourself. Thank you.
That older kid trying to calm the little kids down is a champ. "They're just items. We're all safe." What a nice kid.
The screams and cries of the children are heart-breaking.
@@mikeymcmikeface5599 no it's not it's funny tbh
Amen! That child is a true future leader
It is so heartbreaking to hear those children cry. Brings back memories of my own house fire and how scary it can be. Prayers for the family that lost their home and the ones that received damages during this time frame. Hope everyone is safe.

As sad as it is to lose everything you own if everyone made it out, that is what is important. Thank you to first responders and neighbors who helped comfort the kids.
Amen
They just needed to put the kids somewhere or inside, like I get it is kinda scary but Jesus.
The neighbors are the FIRST RESPONDERS.
Dddddd

Please please listen. Valuable lesson to learn here. If you’re ever in a situation where your home/building you’re in if you can do so safely close doors on your way out of the building. This closes off oxygen to the fire and can actually help to keep the fire very small. Has been shown to actually save more of the structure and help responders put out the flame faster. Really sad to see this happen but really glad everyone is safe.
that not safe because fire can spread fast
That's his point, and a good one. Fire won't spread as fast if the door is closed...when you exit the house, close the door if its safe to. Then the fire department can open it when nessseaary and they have water to the door already or are close.
@FireCrew 57 No it’s very true, what Chris G said is pretty on the spot.
@FireCrew 57 And as a firefighter myself I can say it is true, flow path increases oxygen to the source of the fire. Take away or reduce flow paths and you start to narrow one side of the fire tetrahedron making it difficult for the fire to continue combustion or spread. I don’t know what they taught you in the academy but oxygen is needed for fire to grow and spread. Decrease or remove oxygen from the equation and it no longer can burn.
@@coledavey3999 absolutely correct and scientifically backed.
Mandy and Justin, we’re so sorry. That’s just terrifying. I’m glad everyone got out
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Przyjechały łamagi do pożaru ,,pozwolili się spalić całemu domowi ,,nim się zabrali to nie ma co ratować ..
over 2 minutes to get water started - these fire fighters suck
@@PeaceToAll-sl1db Peace to all, huh? Then you smack talk 3-4 VOLUNTEERS who are trying to do their best. I hate to break it to you but that house was gone before they even got there. It wouldn't have mattered how many firefighters showed up so how about talking about something you at least know a little bit about, which I'm guessing ain't much!
This is so heart breaking ,,I was in a house fire when I was a little girl and my brother too and Mama felt heat coming from the basement and our dog was getting nervous she was tugging at our shirts sleeves we all made it out but lost everything,,an old house with bad wiring ,,God was taking care of us that day ,,I pray these people got the help they needed and were all okay
I pray so too because this has just made them lost their valuable properties
So how are you now hope you are good
Oh my God to hear these poor kids cry damn I'm crying too hopefully everyone is okay
Thanks for sharing your good video. Glad everyone got out, and hope any pets did too. Surprised not to see a 2nd-in pumper.
Small department. Next engine is 15 minutes away not counting the dispatch delay between 2 different counties.
That's insane. Glad you captured it. Sorry for the neighbors. Hope they get lots of help soon
very sorry for the loss but really, this is a prime example why you need more units to respond. Too many people walking too close to the scene. Police should have that aspect under control, so very sad 😢
One truck the lack of help we have now days it’s no saving the house at all just glad everyone safe 🙏🏽
Looks like they did things right, this was time to establish a water supply and deploy the 2 1/2 inch line. Looks like there is a hose issue at the driveway, vertical fanning stream. Biggest issue was the air movement to the left, the "bravo side" of the involved structure, and the proximity to the next house on the left.
Some may scream "deck gun", but getting a handline onto the exposure, right next to the main body of fire, was paramount.
There were four firefighters on the apparatus, so once water is established, manning the deck gun was a possibility. Handy appliance, but I can tell you from experience, the deck gun requires training. It flows A LOT of water, and especially if you are running "tank to pump", you have mere minutes of supply.
Getting a handline between the fire and the exposure was the primary objective here.
By the way, that whining sound you hear is the emergency vent on a propane tank. It's designed to do this, to keep the pressure in check on a tank. In a firefight, you have to throw some water on that tank to keep it cool...if you can.
I was watching the evolution, and the color of the smoke. Plenty of fuel right there, and an aggressive fire indeed. The home was a loss, done deal. The objective was to reduce the volume of fire at the exposure. Shame the video stops short of the results.
With my crew, former captain, I had them play with the equipment. Very important. My guys knew how to properly deploy a master stream, and use the deck gun if needed. But, we had the luxury of being able to do so. Our primary mission was jumping from helicopters, but in structures, my crew was dispatched automatically on the second alarm. Thus, I had to qualify them on structural response as well as wildland, both for truck and engine duties.
Appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and your details on the events!
What I saw from experience is a very slow deployment of their 1.5 live line, they didn't complete the pull off the truck for minutes, then charge it and cover the house to the left. Then an even slower move to get the 2.5 to the hydrant. Took a line to the back that burst. Looked like a poorly trained volunteer response to me. I worked for a volunteer station, first two or three at least got the truck to the scene, a couple more would arrive straight there, we'd pull the live line and get water on it in less than 30 seconds, we'd go straight to the hydrant immediately because like you said, we had about 3-4 minutes of a 1.5 worth of water on the truck. To me this looked like a Keystone FD.
@@wokewokerman5280
What is it with you blowhards trying to pretend like you have the faintest clue what you are talking about? Especially when the video itself refutes everything you are saying! They were putting water on the exposure less than 90 seconds after the brakes were set. Pretty much everything else you said is blowhard puffing.
The deck Gun using tank water would have knocked this down in around 40 seconds after they stopped. they did Not lay In a hydrant line, they didn't it manually long afterwards. That was not a clever "Fanning System, if was a punctured hose due to lack of maintenance.
The Deck Gun could have wet down everything before they could untangle a hand line and get fully dressed.
The Deck Gun should be the number one tool for Visible Burning material with a Booster line OR correct length 1-3/4" line should be second. USA departments don't know what Correct length means or how to store it and pull it out so if doesn't tangle. That takes the ability to Think which pretty much doesn't exist here either. It does require practice and a spotter which nobody bothers to use.
Water on the burning material is Always the objective at every fire. No threat means no need for protection or quick rescue. Makes it safer for the victims and the heroes searching for them.
You got the propane one right.
The home was Not a loss and firefighters don't get to allow that kind of thinking into their minds. They are there to stop the threat and help victims, in that order is best.
@@JB91710
You literally no clue what you are talking about, stop embarrassing yourself
This is the problem of building houses too close to each other there should be a mandatory distance between them I’m surprised the insurance companies don’t have something to do with that
My daughter, passed away last year in Rogue River, Oregon..it's such a shame that this family lost their house. It's such a beautiful valley.
Its amazing how slowly time goes during something like this! It didn't take that long for the fire department to get there but it seemed like it took forever, and I am sure for those poor people it was interminable!! That is my biggest fear 😵💫
I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully no one was hurt.
I don't think it seemed like a slow response, it was a slow response.
@@catherinebrady2640 100%
@@catherinebrady2640 Most likely a volunteer department with only one engine showing up. Their beepers go off and they have to respond to the fire station from where ever they are, and then have to wait for enough people to arrive before they can respond to the fire.
Misericórdia!muito devagar esses bombeiros!🤔🤨
I felt I almost had a heart attack just watching this 😢 so heartbreaking, I got really anxious waiting for the fire truck to show up, firefighters are true heroes, but honestly they need more staff in that town, where I used to live I often saw two fire trucks and an ambulance just because someone fainted at the grocery store 😶... I hope everybody's ok and that they're able to rebuilt their homes/lives and put this horrible tragedy behind 🙏
Just got finished reading the full description.......I'm an ex-firefighter and I can tell you that you did absolutely nothing wrong. I don't know what idiots are criticizing you for not helping or calling 911. As you stated, your mother was already calling 911, and you're not a firefighter. Trying to make entry into a house when it is to that level of fire without fire suppression gear or fire suppression training would be beyond foolish.
Prayers for this family's recovery. I feel so badly for the trauma to the kids in seeing their home burn.
I think I heard them say that this was the neighbor’s house, still scary if their home was right next to the fire. Also they had a dog and cats(?)
Such things are part of life
Better to experience such things early in life so as to be better able to handle them in the future
Too many children are coddled today, then when bad things happen as an adult they are unable to cope
Life isn't perfect and it never will be
I've never asked anyone if they called 911 during an emergency if I have my phone in my hand. I've been part of a few emergencies as a first aid, first response party.
Thank you for sharing this Doug, you did the right thing After checking on them.. It's disheartening when others jump on making opinions without knowing FACTS!! I was fine until you comforted the neighbor kids, I started crying hearing them.. so many emotions.. ✌💗
I appreciate your efforts❣
Incredible footage, thank you for sharing. Prayers to the family.
I totally understand and 👍 agree !! All I can say is that thank the Lord no children seemed to be hurt or even killed by the fire!! I'd probably do the same thing filming it for proof of what happened and what you saw cause it would have taken to long to explain it so there by it is on video on thank God for the video phones of today!! Thank you for sharing this with people!! My mom lives in Eugene Oregon be and I used to as well but now I'm live on Canada B.C.!! Thanks!!🍁🇨🇦🍁✝️🛐😇
Thus was hard to watch. I cannot imagine this happening to me.. 🇬🇧👍❤️
This image broke my heart into a thousand pieces.
What a mess. Im feeling for all the families involved. Praying for you all.
Taxpayers don't want higher taxes that potentially would enable the fire department to increase their resources. Until that realization is met this is what they'll get.
This must’ve been very scary for the kids and I truly don’t blame them. This is just proof that people still care for each other.
So sad.. prayers for this family.
So sad to lose everything 😢🙏🙏
I'm a firm believer that's this day in age with the population in smaller cities increasing there should be no such thing as a volunteer fire department. These men and women should be paid and staffed to respond to the needs on the areas they serve. The government spends and allocates so much money to "miscellaneous" causes this should be on of the main pushes to prevent situations like this from happening. A small city or town should receive the same quality fire and ems as a big city!!
So heartbreaking to hear these children cry. I can only hope they didnt lose their pets.
That broke my heart, also!
We never lost are pets
Looks like a rural town which means fire response is limited. I live in the suburbs of a major city and most are volunteer firefighters but the equipment my area has looks better and more modern then many of the paid city departments and fires like this the local towns respond fairly quickly with a huge mutual aid which includes standby (backfill) at towns firehouses that are working at the fire. You have to really admire volunteer fireman who drop what they are doing to put your fires out for free. I always prepare for the worst. I have fire extinguishers all over the house and one in each vehicle i have. You can never be over prepared.
Our Fire Department here is AMAZING!!!! We just went through the Almeda Fire and our community is strong!!!
At our department we always pulled pre-connect( line pre-connected to truck, guick response) while other lines were pulled into position. Then LDH lines(large diameter hose for volume of water) catch nearest hydrant coming on scene to extinguish.
Hated hearing the cries of the children. May all involved get the help and assistance they need.
They did an excellent job as it was fully engulfed upon arrival.
One fire truck for a fully engulfed home with two homes also in danger on each side. In NJ if 911 is called for a heart attack multiple rescue units arrive. Multiple fire trucks, ambulances and police. There was a chimney fire and 3 fire trucks showed up. Glad everyone made it out. Prayers for the family.
This is a really important lesson in why you don't take shortcuts or get lazy when it comes to storing propane or other fuels.
Great job staying calm and documenting the situation, don't listen to the haters. It takes people like you to help us see it accurately :) thank you
As someone who arrived home after being called in the middle of the night by neighbors to find family farm fully engulfed and no sign of my ex or 7 year little girl who were supposed to be sleeping inside but ultimately were found, him still holding her deceased inside. This video really gutted me😢 Thank god everyone was safe in this case of this video. Not everyone is so lucky. I volunteer with the red cross now installing smoke detectors and helping people make escape plans. Nobody ever thinks it will happen to them. Be prepared. Practice your escape plans with your children. Make it fun, time them have a designated meet up spot. It only takes 2 minutes for toxic smoke to kill you. If you are asleep with no smoke detectors you may die without even waking up. Know your exit possibilites. Going down stairs to an exit could cost you your life if the fire is burning below the stairs. Physically practice going out that window. Be safe. John and Aria were 43 and 7 years old and shouldve been going to school and work the next day just like any other day. Now they are memories. Be safe.
For a first in engine with limited manpower they did an amazing job. Got several lines out and hit a hydrant in a quick, efficient manner. Sad that the home was a total loss but it looked like they may have been able to limit the exposure on the Bravo side.
Nah they could’ve saved some energy by using the deck gun

You have no clue what you're talking about
How far from station?
Volunteer or paid?
Ever tried working in bunker gear?
Looks like a beautiful, secluded area.
This reminds me of 2020 of when our neighbors had a horrible house fire, hearing the cries of the children reminded me of how my sibling and I cried, this almost had me in tears just seeing the video, would never want to be apart of this again, just the first incident alone traumatized me
We just had a house fire in my neighborhood, it's horrifying I hope no one was in the house.
Hello, what is the cause of this fire? Thank you so much.
You did an excellent job my brother. All the negative comments? I’ll say it for you. Fuck off!! You did what you could. Thanks for the video evidence.
Doug Christen: First let me say the video is good it caught the most essential information for all to see. As for your comment about those hating because the one person videoing isn't calling 911 you raised an excellent point there was already someone calling 911 who you knew and the decision not to call did not hurt anything. I have commented about blind commentary in the past and this is exactly what I was referring to. People need to chill out and stop hating on videographers they may have another person calling or have already called themselves. Firefighters these are the professionals. They have undergone many hours of training and teaching. People squawk about what they see and do not go beyond that to think that if the point of view is from alpha side then there is no information showing about what is happening on the charlie side. Another phrase for blind commentary is making assumptions.
A person can be heard in the video asking if someone has called 911! Don't ask! If you don't know, call! They would rather have ten calls than none.
@@tclem44I agree with you about not asking if someone called 911 call if you don't know. My comment was specific to the comment in the description asking people not to hate because he was videoing and not calling 911 the reason being his mother was already on the phone with the 911 operator and was standing right beside him.
Video just cuts out. Now long did this 1 truck fire department take to get the fire out?
Damn Doug, sorry to see this happen…. hope the family is ok. Was anybody around to move the vehicles so they would not burn? Such a tragedy.
Sadly no. The keys were inside and the cars were all locked. I'm a car guy and listening to the cars scream in agony (horns blazing till they didn't). Most honorific experience for me.
@@DougChristen glad you and everyone else is ok. God Bless! 🙂
I never want to live in a place with a volunteer fire service. Having a staffed fire house can be the difference between one house burning and a few homes in the neighborhood going up. That said, thank you for all fire fighters, volunteers and otherwise.
I'm relieved that there were no victims I lived through a fire and I will never forget it.
Didn't mean to "send" the other comment ,I meant to say more. I hope they do have good insurance. Looks like a large family (cars) lives there. I hope they get tons on donations and didn't loose any pets. ✝️🌹❤️
It's scary to see how fast fire spreads. Wau...poor family. How was the house next to it? Also badly damaged?
Prayers ascending on behalf of this family.
Hope everyone made it out safe and sound
I just read that the occupants delayed calling 9-1-1 for almost 15 minutes, while they attempted to extinguish the fire themselves. Folks, don't do that! Even if you have an extinguisher, even if you think it's small enough to put out yourself, CALL 9-1-1- FIRST!.
To leave a nasty comment I am sorry for you.
This kinda event is devastating to say the least, but for educational purposes this moment will help others. Always, have a plan,meeting area to go to as the firefighters Need to know the count. Thank you for the video and don't worry about about Naysayers as they weren't their to witness.
Just thank the Lord everyone who was affected are safe.
Always, have a plan in place as well understanding directions for fire,police,medics to use most of their resources at a time of Kayoss..
I grew up rural. I got caught playing with matches, dad read me the riot act like it was world war 3. If you catch fire, you are on your own. This is obviously and understaffed department, there would be at least 2 more trucks if they were properly staffed. That shriek is the pressure relief on a propane tank, that opened up and that is the stick a fork in it moment. We had neighbors who lost barns and managed to save their house simply by turning on the "fire sprinklers" that they had because of forest fires. The small towns have it the worst because a neighbors fire can turn into your fire or the wholr block's fire very quickly. Especially when the fire department is only able to slow or stop the spread at best. Personal tradgedy for the hoimeowners, gaily grind for the firefighters if they are regulars.
Prayers to that whole family
strength friend God will give you the best for you
*IF I WAS A REPORTER, I WOULDN'T EVEN WIN FOR THE COFFEE.*
You did your best. you did check to see that everyone was out. It is so sad that they lost everything but they are not hurt. I hope they had insurance.
That’s a shame. Hope all got out safely!
One fire truck? They are walking around like it's a glorious spring day
When you make this video - was it not better to help? Nobody has something like water or anything - just to try???
Just love the leisurely pace of fireman.
So go volunteer since apparently you would do a better, faster job.
Sorry for the family but is one small fire engine all they have in that area. ?
I wonder what made that fire so egressive? I’ve been to Rouge River. It’s a beautiful place. My mom lived in Grants Pass for 30 years
What happened? Is everyone ok? Sending prayers for everyone.
Bummer. That's everyone's worst nightmare. Definitely a life changing event.
Sad to see vintages vehicles get burned 😭
Wow, that was crazy, 😟🤦♀️
How traumatic for those babies.
All those people taking pictures are the same ones, stopping the flow of the traffic when the police stop someone on the other side of the freeway , ""just nosy by nature""
What is fueling that fire?
Wow,,this is a terrible fire, I pray everyone in the home got out safely & all involved was ok? I will say though, as a volunteer firefighter in New York for 23 years, idk how things get done in other states, but Oregon needs to step up there response!? There Engine pulled up to the scene at 5:18, & water wasn't put onto the house until 8:46 into the video!? That is unbelievable, the minute the Engine was there, they should've pulled an attack line off, & gotten water onto the house within a minute! There is probably 500- 750 gallons of water in the tank, that could've been used! The other question, how is there only 1 unit putting this fire out! I know during the day, it's hard to get response, especially in a volunteer department, when your membership is at work, but, that's why you call for help!!
Thanks for confirming you have ZERO experience as a firefighter 🤣
Lets break this down...
"There Engine pulled up to the scene at 5:18"
-NFPA 1710 recommend a 90% response goal of 5:20 seconds for first in
"water wasn't put onto the house until 8:46 into the video!?"
-The first pre-connect was pulled and putting water on the exposure ~90 seconds after the brakes were set
-The second pre-connect was pulled and in use ~90 seconds after that
-The third pre-connect was in use and the hydrant supply charged within 5 minutes of the brakes being set
"the minute the Engine was there, they should've pulled an attack line off, & gotten water onto the house within a minute!"
-Using exclamation points doesn't make your comments any less ridiculous
"There is probably 500- 750 gallons of water in the tank, that could've been used!"
-It was being used by the first two pre-connects (exclamation point)
"The other question, how is there only 1 unit putting this fire out!"
-Because 20+ ton fire apparatus cannot magically teleport across miles of roadway (exclamation point)
"especially in a volunteer department"
-This wasnt a VFD
"that's why you call for help!!"
-Calling doesn't make equipment move any faster down the road (double exclamation point)
@@virgilhilts3924 well, idk about you, but thanks for breaking down the formulas of firefighting for me. Not sure how they do things in this department, & im not sure where your located? However, I slept 23 years as a Volunteer in New York on Long Island, worked with alot of guys in my Department who were also city guys in the FDNY, & one thing I know, especially for a paid department, which your claiming it is, that's fine. I'd like to know then, where is the second engine, where is the truck, ambulance, RIT unit?? I know every department does things differently, & I know this was a total loss, heavy volume of fire when these guys pulled up, & God bless them & keep them safe. We're just used to going for the throat here?
@@robertguida8997
"I slept 23 years as a Volunteer in New York on Long Island"
-So you claim... yet you had no clue what was going on here
-Including the fact that I refuted (supported by the video) each and every one of your false assertions
"where is the second engine, where is the truck, ambulance, RIT unit??"
-Again, you do know that 20+ ton apparatus cannot magically teleport... don't you?
-You do know that the vast majority of the US is NOT a congested "metro" area?
-Do you even have a clue how massive and spread out this nation is?
So sad for the family! Hopefully neighbors/friends are chipping in to help them while they wait for the insurance etc to pay out so they can rebuild…. Tragic man!
I hope everyone made it out alive
The fir in the backyard was burning 🔥 to and the worst thing could happen after the house 🏠 fire 🔥 is when you lose everything and you are not allowed 🚫 to rebuilt the house.
Oh my goodness. I hope everyone is ok. So so sad. I'm sorry I hope another firetruck or trucks come
My parents house was destroyed by fire several years ago. My Mom never got over it. 3 weeks later she had a stroke. My parents got a new house My Mom got better but they never got over the loss.
My father was a fire fighter for 30 years, volunteer & paid.
So sad to see & surprised how slowly the fire fighters reacted. 🤣
That is just so tragic. I'm thousands of miles away I feel useless because I can't help.
Why didn't the first due engine lay a forward lay into the scene, you could see the fire from blocks away, then use the deck gun?
Why weren't you there to save the day with your armchair quarterbacking?
Sad to see someone lose everything, though this could have been much worse. 6 Minutes to get water on a fire is pretty bad.
And who’s the kid crying in the background
“Where is the fire department”
Why did it take so LONG for fire department to respond?
Hearing those kids crying was heartbreaking. I imagine there were more firefighters in the rear?
What takes fire trucks so long to put a waters out
So please keep your negative comments to yourself. Thank you. I could not have said it any better dont know why people have so much frigging hate. thank you for getting this on video who knows it could help with the investigation. I truly Hope nobody was hurt.
Thank you!
I agree with you until you ask the question of if your house caught fire would you want this guy to make a documentary about it while actively ignoring your kid's pain, or would you want anyone else on the planet to be there as they would be more productive? I think calling someone out for literally failing to do anything productive is not being hateful. Let's test the logic they used, so if his mom's house caught fire as a result of this incident would the insurance require video evidence from start to absolute resolution of the incident to honor an insurance policy? No, clearly they don't and that is not how any of this works. He just needs to own up to the fact that it was not his best moment as a human and make a statement he would do better if ever in that situation again. I could respect that. Just being honest.
That's an intense fire. Lots of fuel in the garage?
Just went through this on memorial day weekend when backyard neighbor left his gas grill unattended and burnt his house up....Liked to burn 3 other houses including mine but luckily the fire dept. got there in time....Scary stuff to say the least being i have a handicapped bed ridden wife...
Why the hell it took so long for the fire department to arrive ?
And why only one fire truck ?
Sad to hear the children so distraught.
" FIRE DEPT 🔥 too slow, only 1ONE F I RE TRUCK? shit what d heck, NO GOOD, LACK of Training, man."
Heart breaking. Is anyone else shocked at the one small truck showing up? When something is on fire here massive amts of support show up so quickly. So many departments, like every 15 miles. God bless our firemen.
Yes I was shocked more fire trucks didn't show up. I don't understand why 😪
Common people should help
what started the fire ?
What's that going off at 3:06? Powerlines?
Hope all is safe
I make 2 minutes till water reaches the first nozzle. Now that sounds a long time but in US firefighting terms that is pretty good. The US fire services for some strange reason only fight fires with large bore mainline hose already connected in flaked multiple lengths. Those take time to lay out, remove the kinks and then charge. Charging all that hose wastes valuable tank water. In the UK and Europe our main line hose remains in separate rolled lengths in each side locker but near to the pump deliveries are at least two smaller 45mm hoselines already connected to the pump in horizontal flakes. All you do is grab the already attached nozzle and run to the fire. A good pump operator is already charging the hose as you drag it and water will hit a fire usually within 15 second. Less if you use the fixed hose reels on each side. There would have been one small jet and two hose reels on that fire within 20 seconds. It's not the firefighters fault, they work with what they are given. We in Europe just cannot understand why the US still build systems with such an inefficient design though some authorities have adopted European tactics and designs. Most fires can be put out quickly in the early stages with such tactics but if not, then at least your water is working for you until you get your main lines out which are rolled out far quicker than that flaked hose and you roll out and charge only what you need. It's quicker, less kinks, less water waste. Not a lot you can do about attendance times and take absolutely no notice of a couple of idiots on here who claim to be volunteer firefighters, they are talking utter rubbish as many real volunteers have stated. Attendance times depend on availability of crew, time to attend the station (the whole crew) and distance from the incident. Even then they may be attending another fire and you have to wait for a fire appliance from much further away. You just cannot have an infinite number of appliances and men as they cost money. It's the price you pay for living in a rural hamlet. Many residents associations make their own arrangements for first aid firefighting using portable pumps either gas or electric and local water supplies such as swimming pools, ponds and streams as well as fire hydrants. You may not be trained firefighters and should never enter a burning building without proper training and equipment but you can protect the buildings either side or in this case extinguish the fire in the drive before the houses became involved. There is always something you can do with the right preplanning and equipment but do it safely. Talk to your local fire dept for advice. They will be only too willing to help.
PS I cannot fault the firefighting tactics. That property was a 100% loss on arrival so the crew used their limited manpower wisely to protect the adjacent properties. Ignore any negative comments about firefighting lack of backup. Tactics 100% correct in the circumstances and backup will already have been mobilised but they have even further to travel even IF they weren't already out at another incident.
Infalible e vistos muchos videos de este tipo ,no hay en el mundo bomberos mejores que ,los voluntarios de CHILE en rapides y eficiencia y oportunos para los llamados
Too bad they didn't even get to move the cars. It's awful to lose everything. But thankful no lives taken or hurt.
I know how it feels to have to start over.
I hopeveverything turns out ok for them.
